Just to get this straight, did Biden really call Lee out on voting to go to war following 9-11? Seriously, Biden voted for it too and now his own son is over their fighting and he blames the debt on other brave men and women like his own kid?

As for the prescription drug benefit for seniors? I have to wonder that once SS and Medicare were created, do we really not have a moral duty to provide for seniors that can't afford their medications that we paid doctors to prescribe to them?

How much did they raise at the Biden event and how much was Tom White's cut?

I hope a reporter asks that question because donors were explicitly told to designate if they did not want Tom White to have their money.

Frankly, I would be pissed off if I spent $250 and got a tuna fish sandwich. I hope Jane Kleeb made the country club staff prove to her it was dolphin safe tuna and caught by union represented fishermen off the coast of Pelosi Land.

I wonder when the "Tom White Liberal Democrat" ad from the Terry campaign is going to hit the airwaves. I don't know why the Terry campaign thinks they need to respond to White's amateur attempts to portray himself as "independent".

First of all, Lee just looks stupid in that ad because everyone knows there is a huge difference between 12k and 174k (or whatever they make these days).

And talking about last Sunday's OWH articles on these two candidates. Why in the H has Lee been spending all his time for the last 6 years on an initiative that doesn't do squat to help any of his own constituents?? Now there is an ad that Tom White should do. What has Lee Terry done for the OMAHA voter lately? Nothing.

And, okay Lee. You're so "bipartisan"? Which of the Democratic initiatives have you voted for in the last two years? You can't have it both ways. Either you're one of the most bipartisan members in Congress and will work with the Dems to get their stuff passed, or you are a hard-line conservative and will work to block anything the Dems want to pass. Which is it? You're speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

That throw-away line by Biden will be the best sound bite for Terry TV ads. What's up with "I'm not an arm of the Democratic Party Jane Kleeb" being on the inside of the White fundraiser to snap a photo of the Veep? Thought the BN people bent over backwards to appear "non-partisan." Who paid Jane's $250 to get her inside? BN? Dick Holland? Are they paying to get BN staff inside Republican fundraisers?

The last thing this country needs is a Republican who is bipartisan. We need real conservatives to dismantle Medicaid and Social Security, Repeal (NOT replace) health care reform, eliminate the Dept of Educaiton and balance the budget. I am staying home on election day and sending a message that we have had enough with fake conservatives like Lee Terry who the Democrats compliment as a nice guy who is easy to work guy. I can't vote for White but sure as kelp am not going to keep validating Lee.

Why werve only tuna fish at a Nebraska event?? Sounds like White's crew needs to be reminded that Nebraska doesn't grow tuna. But hey, I's guessing with Terry it would have been peanut butter and jelly.

Jane Kleeb and Bold NE were all ready to protest VP Biden with signs and slogans – they put up invites and information on their Facebook page and website, but then – they never showed up. Is this because Sugar Daddy Dick Holland gave Jane a call and told her to take one for the team and not show up at his boy Tom's big moment with the BFD-VP? Probably. http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/richard-holland.asp?cycle=10

Oh, but wait…Jane's Bold Nebraska is moderate, and not affiliated with ANY political party.

She is such a load of …

Well, I hope the good people of NE wise up. Dick Holland wants wind farm develpment, hence the slogan "Wind Mills Not Oil Spills" on his bought-and-paid-for-girl's issues website.

The whole thing stinks. There is NOT ONE player involved in the whole Bold Nebraska deal who is not in it for the money. Except maybe for the poor college intern who gets stuck nannying for Jane Kleeb.

Why doesnt the LJS follow the money on Bold NE? They'd rather shoot Nebraska in the fiscal foot by persecuting TransCanada. Dolts.

If Terry Lee is always putting people before politics, how come in 2009 he voted AGAINST a house resolution H.Res 1113 "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day"?

now wait a minute. If Jane and bold ne were in on the fundraiser, but yet had a protest schedueld, wouldn't that mean they were in cahoots? Hmmm I thought there was something in the law regarding candidates and PAC's working together…… maybe Tom White and Ian will report it and then it's all good. Otherwise it might me a Mark Lakers thing all over again.

Arnold P. Your nuts like all of the tea baggers. Why don't you just say you want old people to starve? Or people who are not healthy to die. I see you don't want to cut the military. I bet you would hate to pay any taxes to pay for anything. I bet you think wall street is wonderful and we need to get rid of all government and let the corporations pay the public starvation wages and work everyone to the poor farm. I bet you would not make any sacrifice for your country. What a joke. I am glad your not voting. Any normal republican is better than you and your nutty ideas. A liberal democrat is the best. But at least real republicans care about their country. You tea bag nuts are nuts. It must be the hex the witch in Delaware put on you.

Excellent mailer by Terry–I remember the forcus he had last time on getting independents to vote for him. They did in NE2, unlike about 20 districts around the coubtry where the incumbent Republican lost as a result of Obama winning their district.

Smart move by Terry in focusing on bipartisanship. Other than a few idiot trolls posting here, it's a message most voters relate to and like.

I agree 12:15, but given that these guys take their advice from DC consultants, they don't have a clue the toxicity of this administration and how most are simply not buying the hope or change routine. Rothenberg pointed out what we all already know.

Sarah Palin's people blamed the booing she got on Dancing With the Stars on the scores that the judges gave to the dancers that had just finished. No, people, the booing the politicians are getting, from both the left and the right, is all well deserved. The answer, however, is not to replace them with idiots from the Tea Bag Party. The answer is for people to become more informed on what is really happening, electing representatives that find solutions that work for the betterment of us all, then holding them accountable.

Can anyone honestly say that Lee Terry and Tom White are the best people we can find to represent us in Washington? If they are, then Nebraska is in far worse condition than anyone thought.

Maybe all this booing is more of a reflection on Omaha as a city than its mayor or congressman.

It's mean no matter who it is and neither deserves it by virtue of the office they serve whether or not we agree with the job they are doing.

It makes a statement about us to the crowd, including the kids there, as well as the players that go back to their respective cities and tell how backwards and ill bred Omaha really is though progressive in its own mind.

So who is this woman running for 3rd district House of Reps against Adrian Smith?

She was on KLKN TV last night after the news and they gave her … GAVE HER … 5 minutes of free air time and she absolutely laid an egg! Who is advising this woman? By any objective standard, it was horrid.

She has no message. None. True, her delivery was bad, but what made it worse was that she basically gave no justification for getting you to vote for her.

In a nutshell, here was her 5 minutes:

– I won't take any special-interest money and am not a career politician;– I want to spend "meaningful" time in all 69 counties of the district … So I'm taking a road trip; and– she entered the race because her opponent voted against the "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act."

That was IT! That's all she's got. Just Lilly Ledbetter. That was the only substantive issue she addressed at all. Just a horrid candidate who appears to be getting really bad advice.

So, does Tom have the balls to go in front of the crowd? Or will he stay secluded at home and attend no public events, regardless of the worthy cause for the next 30 days-like he has for the last year?

By the way, what is up with Tom White not being seen in public. My husband and I see Lee Terry and his wife(sometimes his kids too)at events all over the community. Doesn't Tom White like his community, let alone the people in it?

Why can't Tom White be trusted out in public? Does it have anything to do with what was reported in his profile piece in the OWH a couple weeks ago?

Just took a quick tour of the websites for each of the major-party congressional candidates in Nebraska.

Adrian Smith's is clearly the most impressive site from a design perspective. I thought Fortenberry's was the most substantive and he actually addressed the health care law unlike the rest who either ignored it or skirted the edges of it.

White's and Terry's were about equal in terms of design and content. Both were decent. Far, far behind the others, though, were the sites for Davis and Harper. They avoid any real discussion of issues, fail to contrast themselves from their opponents, and don't give voters any real reason why they would be either effective representatives or better than their adversaries. In short, they both completely failed to sell themselves.

Unlike the rest of everybody else in these races, they have no record to run on (or from) and you are really left with no idea who they are or what they stand for. It's like they're both running for student council on a platform of liking what everyone else likes and promising an extra recess and a longer lunch period.

Neither appear to be very credible candidates. Just lame. Both of them.

Gambler, I'm sure we could work something out with sweeper. Nothing illegal, of course. Maybe the loser agrees to make a charitable donation. Or, the winner could just have the satisfaction of being right. I don't need your money. I'll be content with just being right. Both Suttle and White lose. You would really risk money betting against that proposition?

As funny as that is, the social events are invitations mailed to people that regularly give to their community. So he either doesn't give back to the community that he takes from, or there is a reason his handlers won't let him attend public cocktail parties.
